One bright spot..........2005-07-02

The only item on this disc really worth listening to is a great update of "Sincerely" by G. G. (?) Who pray tell is that? Are those a person's initials or does it stand for a group? Does she or do they have any more tracks available? Maybe I just don't listen to enough contemporary Pop but I'd like to hear more of "G.G."!

Fiona...Annie...Sarah...must've missed the memo..........2004-12-30

A futile attempt to reignite feminism. Note the Lileth Fair-esque listing of tracks. Likely the reason Journey and others were left off. Rent the movie, skip the soundtrack.

Where's the Music?.......2003-12-04

The best part of the film is when she is in Paris in the yellow jacket and "La Vie En Rose" is playing over her walking. Where is it on this CD?????

What I was Expecting..........2003-10-07

If you watch the extras on the DVD, they actually talk about the music in the movie. In fact, they mention that the soundtrack contains new songs by female artists and they show some of the songs and artists who sing them. I went searching for this CD *because* I liked the artists on it, not for what I heard in the movie.

If you want '80s hits there are literally hundreds of CDs out there already that contain and rehash those tunes many times over. (I happen to own a good number of these CDs myself.) I have both Wedding Singer soundtracks and frankly my favorite songs from them are Adam Sandler's and not the vintage ones. These songs on the "View from the Top" CD were in the movie; they just didn't stand out as much as those that most of us would recognize from our youth.

I think this soundtrack delivers what it and the DVD promises - new songs by current and upcoming artists. Legally Blonde's soundtrack (which I also own) has the same format. However, I do agree that they should have included "We Are Royalty" - it was the best song in the movie! What a shame it was left off.

So much stuff missing..........2003-06-30

I watched the movie, and i thought, 'Man, what awesome classic songs... I gotta get the soundtrack. So much good stuff in one place.' Took one look at the song list, and NOTHING looks familiar. I was expecting something like the Wedding Singer soundtracks with all those awesome classics, but this is all unfamiliar territory. I think I'll opt out of this one.

Album Description

Ready-To-Hear

Simply put, Ready-To-Hear is not one product. We are a multi-media publication in every sense of the word. And in a world where the term "unique" is much over-used, Ready-To-Hear really is unique; there is nothing like it out on the market today.

It's a quarterly magazine about fashion and music. But the magazine is also packaged with an enhanced CD. Another major part of Ready-To-Hear is our comprehensive web site, which will include editorial content, links to design and music centers around the world, as well as links to web sites covering social issues that affect the fashion and music industries - such as urban culture, education, censorship, and youth issues. And what web page would not be complete without shopping?

Yet our overall goal is much larger: to break down barriers to creativity -- to present "fashion" much as we should approach it in real life, as a way of interpreting and commenting on the world around us. We believe that capturing the powerful chemistry among fashion, music and the visual arts requires full use of all the new technologies and communications mediums available. And our multi-media approach allows us the freedom to cover our subject matter in new and challenging ways.

Ready-To-Hear is just as much an exploration of what influences fashion as it is about the clothes themselves. It's about the people, their tools, their muses, and how their ideas take root in a social context, blossoming into something considered "fashionable."

Ready-To-Hear, The Magazine

This 80+ page magazine will be released in conjunction with the Ready-To-Wear shows four times a year. It will be CD-sized, packaged together with a CD that contains both music and interactive enhancements. The print magazine will contain feature articles, interviews with designers and musicians, articles on culture, technology, commerce, fashion spreads, in short, anything that contributes to our editorial focus on the artistic synergy that drives the world of "fashion."

In addition, each issue will include several fashion shoots and photo essays, all of which will incorporate influences from fashion, art, design, music, and culture.

Contributing editors (photographers and writers) will provide most of the content for the magazine -- adding insight and a diversity of opinion to our coverage. Just in the first two issues alone, contributing editors have included:

-- Hilary Alexander, Fashion Editor of the Daily and Sunday London Telegraph

-- Abigail Chisman, Fashion Editor of British Vogue Online

-- Florence Muller, Former curator of the Fashion Museum, The Louvre, Paris

-- Stan Herman, President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America

-- John Galliano, Designer

-- Galliano and Christian Dior (LVMH Haute Couture Line)

-- David Dalton, Noted culture and arts writer, and Andy Warhol's first assistant

-- David Mccabe, Owner of the largest private collection of Warhol portraits.

Mr. Mccabe shot a 14-page exclusive photo-retrospective on Andy Warhol, featuring clothes by Paris-based designer, Kenzo. Mr. Mccabe is allowing us to print several of his most famous Warhol portraits as a backdrop to his photo essay for Ready-To-Hear.

Ready-To-Hear will also continually present the viewpoints and insights of the most eclectic and current group of recording artists available in any magazine, interviews just in the first three issues include:

-- Malcolm Mclaren, music impresario who fuses music and fashion

-- Barry White, (the soul legend) who will appear on the cover of issue #3

-- Sister Bliss, of the MTV award-nominated, multi-platinum group Faithless

-- Jeremy Healy, globe-trotting DJ, who also creates sound tracks for the world's most famous designers

Moving forward we intend to continue enlivening the magazine with such a mix of points of view -- people from the mainstream of fashion and music establishment -- opinion leaders from music and fashion's elite -- trend setters from the fringes and margins, both high and low.

It will be a magazine appealing to anyone with a sense of cultural curiosity -- curiosity about how the arts intermingle -- about the people, their tools, their muses, and how art and commerce combine to create something considered "fashionable."

Ready-To-Hear, The CD

Packaged with the magazine will be a CD Rom containing not only music, but interactive enhancements and editorial presentations. For example, Malcolm Mclaren has given us the video for his new release "Buffalo Gals," to put on CD#2 as an enhancement.

Future enhancements will include such elements as movie previews and interactive editorial -- incorporating audio, animated text, and graphics -- so that the users can determine how the "article" is presented. Also included will be encryptions that allow users to link to other sites of interest. For the second issue we will be including "click-through" capability to several exclusive web sites, including Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenzo, British Vogue and others.

The CD will also contain an average of 12 music tracks, which will be edited and mixed by our Paris-based sound stylist Michel Gaubert, who designs sound tracks for the runway shows of Chanel, Valentino, Thierry Mugler, Balenciaga, Sonya Rykiel, John Bartlett and many other designers in both the U.S. and Europe.

The CD tracks will be selected from the music played on the catwalks of the world -- from Sydney to Milan -- and together with the print editorial will reflect the dominant style and attitude of the season. We will be featuring tracks from established artists both modern and retro -- old, new, and even some unreleased material. The CD will also serve as a platform to launch the best and brightest new talents whose work is yet undiscovered, as well as music written for the shows that would not otherwise see commercial release.

With such a unique talent pool and music library to draw from, we expect to have all the material we need to produce a quarterly CD/Magazine that consistently offers an unprecedented mix of talent -- a product that will be a fresh addition to the market.

Perfect AOR Gem From Sweden.......2003-01-21

If you are looking for 80's styled dynamic melodic rock as Journey, Styx, hunt Swedish bands. Sweden in recent years has been pushing out finest of AOR bands that can beat even prime time Journey, Boston or Styx. Grand Illusion is one of those bands reminding us of grand scale Styx/Queen/Journey styled rock featurng Goran Edman(legendary Yngswei Malmsteen vocalist)like powerful emotional vocal. The band is made up of seasoned veterans that has been honing their musical talents from 80s.

My favorites are I Refuse, Journey like uptempo chorus driven rocker, Straight Face with excellent hooks and dyanamism, Zeros and Ones light but excellent pop tune and Blinded that combines what's fine of the aforementioned songs.

Recommended for Styx and Journey appreciators.
